Create it. It shouldn't exist by default, as far as i remember; built-in maps are hidden inside the game itself.
Also, you're supposed to know that directories starting from dot are hidden. To see them, use ls -a, or press Ctrl+H (in most GUI file managers; or look for a "show hidden files" button).

The ~ (tilda (Should be wavy)) means your home directory. The home directory contains your music folder, documents folder etc. If your using the Gnome desktop manager (the one without loads of fancy effects) ctrl+h is the shortcut to show hidden files as NoQ said.

:lecture: What is a desktop manager? I've heard of desktop environment (that's what gnome is), display manager (sounds closest to what you've said; responsible only for login screen), file manager (the one that has the shortcut in it) and window manager (the one responsible for fancy effects). Also, i don't think compis stands much farther from gnome than kde effects from kde.

Code: Select all

I've heard of desktop environment (that's what gnome is),
Yup, like KDE (the K desktop environment)

Code: Select all

 display manager (sounds closest, but unrelated to our problem),
Thats probably what it is, Gnome's short name is gdm

Code: Select all

file manager (the one that has shortcut)
in this case nautilus

Code: Select all

and window manager (the one responsible for fancy effects). Also, i don't think compis is much farther from gnome than kde effects from kde.
Really? I didnt think i could get transperent window borders.....

Much better ^_^
Gnome's short name is gdm
No, gdm is a very little thing that manages the login screen.

Yes, compiz is an alternative WM designed for gnome. Many people replace metacity with openbox or xmonad or whatever; compiz is even easier, since ubuntu usually has special buttons for enabling it.

To show hidden folders in KDE, Open the folder manager and press ALT and dot (.)
